Chinese professors at the Wizarding Academy

[New spells mastered: "Blood Tracking (Mastery)" and "Blood Shield (Mastery)"]

As the dark blue runes flashed before his eyes, Gu Chen nodded.

It was the first time he had taken a life, but it didn't move him much.

Perhaps it was because he witnessed many cruel moments at Grey Tower Academy.

He comforted himself with this thought.

Alyssa died a gruesome death; there wasn't a drop of blood on her body, and she collapsed completely to the ground.

This young lady from the Antinoya family, a noblewoman of the kingdom, is a mid-level blood wizard with a third-tier star talent...

Logically speaking, he should be a person with a bright future.

He died at the hands of an unknown, low-level Blood Wizard, a class that everyone thought would fail the test!

"call……"

"I have mastered two new spells."

"According to the requirements of Gray Tower Academy, I have already met one of the requirements to become a mid-level first-circle wizard."

"That means mastering three proficient-level spells!"

Gu Chen silently calculated in his mind, then several streams of blood welled up from his palm, flowing in the air like beautiful red sprites...

He understood what this meant.

"Wizard's Blood!"

"Wizard's Blood, an essential material for blood wizards, can be used not only to restore magic power, but also as ritual or spell-casting materials, to refine one's understanding of magic, and even for advancement!"

This is Elisa's wizard blood. After Gu Chen absorbed it, it automatically condensed in Gu Chen's blood vessels.

He nodded in satisfaction, then drew the beautiful blood back into his own body.

This trip has been very fruitful, but we must not get complacent with our current gains.

Because there's still a mid-level mind wizard at the first ring lying on the floor!

Gu Chen certainly hadn't forgotten this bald man. The reason he didn't kill him first was simple: he wasn't sure if his magic could kill him in one blow!

"You still have at least three spells left to use, including Mind Shield."

"Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be needed anymore."

Gu Chen had anticipated the mental explosion, since a first-ring wizard can only master a limited number of spells.

He wasn't worried about Jim inside the house; the principle behind a mental explosion is to detonate negative emotions within oneself...

Jim's "Unwavering Will" talent is precisely what makes him unafraid of mental attacks!

He is determined!

As for Gu Chen himself?

As a teacher, his ability to withstand pressure is naturally incredibly strong.

Even so... Gu Chen was still somewhat afraid when he recalled everything he had just experienced in his mind.

"If it weren't for my dedication to teaching students, if I had even the slightest impure intention in my past classes, I would probably be dead from a mental explosion by now."

Gu Chen stared at the unconscious mind wizard, raised his hand again, and blood once more condensed in his hand, a sign that the spell was about to be cast.

"That's not the scariest part. What's even scarier is that I don't know if this bald guy can see what I saw during the mind blast attack."

"If the fact that I traveled through time is exposed, I don't think I have any chance of surviving."

This person cannot be allowed to live!

Gu Chen made up his mind to unleash the spell!

This time, the blood absorption has been further enhanced and has reached a perfect level!

The mastery level was enough to severely injure her. If it weren't for the concern that a high-level first-ring cultivator might have some life-saving or backlash-inducing items, Alyssa wouldn't have been the one to die first!

"Blood absorption..."

"Ahem...a reprimand..."

Just as the spell was about to be cast, Ken on the ground suddenly opened his eyes slowly, his cloudy eyes filled with a desire to live.

He rubbed his lips together, coughing out the stale air from his lungs, and then two words crawled out.

Upon hearing those two words, Gu Chen immediately stopped what he was doing.

"...Damn it, I was a step too late."

"The right to discipline!"

Gu Chen certainly knew what this right of reprimand was.

This is a privilege granted to wizards by the Grey Tower Academy, which is awarded from the first high-level rank.

The number of uses increases according to the wizard's level; for example, a high-level first-level wizard can only use it once a year.

The right to discipline, as the name suggests, is the right to discipline others.

A wizard using this power can make one request to a wizard of a lower rank, without involving the other's life.

The other party must comply with all other requests!

"...Let me go."

"...Tsk."

Gu Chen twitched his lips; he knew all too well what the other party wanted to do with their disciplinary power.

He was simply begging me to spare his life.

"Yes, 'teacher'."

The authority to discipline provided by Gray Tower Academy is not a simple verbal agreement; it is a rule universally accepted within the academy. Whenever the authority to discipline is used, it will be detected by the academy's sensing spells.

If a wizard exercising disciplinary power requests something involving the life or death of the other party, the request will not be effective.

If the person being instructed does not accept the normal instructions, or even forcibly violates them, the Gray Tower Academy's sensing spells will detect it and then send out skinning puppets to forcibly carry it out!

Those skinned golems are not just ugly; depending on their cost and strength, the lowest level they have is at least a high-level first ring, and some are even rumored to have the strength of a fifth-ring wizard or higher.

Therefore, Gu Chen had no choice but to comply, only uttering a sarcastic "Teacher" as he did so.

"Thanks……"

Just when Gu Chen thought the other person was about to get up and run away, he heard this illogical statement.

Why?

"I am a slave of the Antinoya family. By killing Elisa, you are essentially freeing me."

"Although I have the right to reprimand, ... it can only be done once a year, and the reprimand is only valid for one month."

"My name is Ken."

After uttering these words, the mind wizard on the ground finally got up and collapsed onto the ground.

"...I had no intention of provoking you at all."

"If it weren't for Antinoya's slave contract, I wouldn't even want to come to this academy."

"I know what you're worried about. I can feel it. We're very close, and I can hear everything you're thinking..."

"But it didn't work during the battle. You drained your own blood half to death, making your spiritual light weaker than that of the child in the house, so I couldn't sense you. In the end, you managed to sneak up to me with your half-dead body."

"That's impressive."

Ken looked up at Gu Chen, then exhaled, a helpless smile on his lips.

"You have secrets, but I want to live."

"Your strength and potential are terrifying... If I allow you to grow unchecked, I will still face certain death in the future."

"I know I know some of your secrets, and you won't let me go."

As Ken uttered those words, Gu Chen's brows furrowed more deeply, and blood began to seep from his hands again.

"I know you want to cripple me."

"I will sign a soul contract with you. After that, if I utter even half a word or reveal anything, my soul will be shattered immediately."

"Even high-level wizards who can manipulate time and space cannot break a soul contract..."

"Not only that, I will also provide a portion of my own 'Wizard Blood,' which, combined with the wizard blood of the deceased Elisa, will be enough for you to advance to the advanced first rank, or even the second rank!"

Ken reached out his hand to Gu Chen, his eyes full of pleading.

"We've met... I was being sat on by Alyssa back then, and I didn't want to live like that anymore."

"I just want freedom."

Gu Chen listened to Ken's words without saying a word, his face gloomy.

Finally, he slowly uttered a few words.

"you want……"

"To be my student?"
